Multiple orbi routers
But I also want wifi in my porch in the garden. But the porch is to far away from any satilite to connect and other one. But I do have a internet cable in the porch, so is it possible to connect an other router in the porch, with the internet cable? And is it resistance with the skill in the air?
It will be in the corner but still maybe it can't handle the water and stuff...
So can I connect 2 orbi routers to one orbi network?

Re: Multiple orbi routers
Only the RBS50Y is outdoor rated.
You can connect a RBR in AP mode however this would be using a different SSID name and PW and be a separate wifi signal for access. You can do this. Otherwise, no, the RBR can't be used like a RBS to connect to another Orbi system wirelessly. Only works in router mode or AP mode.

A LAN cable? If so then the 2nd RBR can be used in AP mode as a 2ndary AP. Use a different SSID Name for this one.
I would also turn down the power output of this 2nd RBR in AP mode from 100% to say 50 or 25%.
Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

Re: Multiple orbi routers
Yep. The RBR in AP mode will have it's own wifi SSID, Call it SSIDname-Porch so you know what your conneting to for an example.

Re: Multiple orbi routers
Not with two RBRs. RBRs only work as the main host router and wifi or in AP Mode with it's own wifi SSID name. RBRs don't work like RBS or as extenders.

Re: Multiple orbi routers
Yes, it doesn't have to be a RBR. Any cheap router will work for basic wifi connetion in AP mode.
